2008 plans...
my word for 2008 is: simplify (click here for details). I've already started. Less appointments, less have-tos. I don't want life to pass me by without stopping to take a look!
If you are visiting this blog, I challenge you to come up with your word, then visit Ali's site and comment...
Also, I'm thinking about joining the fun of the 365 project. When I started this blog a year ago, I had only a few posts a month, now I can't seem to live without my daily post. This may be fun.
Also, for resolutions, getting in shape, losing weight, maybe running a 10K, being a better more patient Mom, being more of a regular at church, getting a little caught up on my scrapbooks, and all that jazz.
That's all, Thanks for stopping by:)

Out with the old, In with the new....Goodbye 2007
Snow will be bombarding us for the next few days, so we will be snuggling in tonight. I just want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has stopped by to spend the days with me through this blog the past year. Your comments and support as I continue on this motherhood journey mean everything to me. May all your dreams come true in 2008! Cheers:)

Sweet Dreams....
Sweet Dreams my little one
As I stand beside you and watch you sleep
I want to make time stand still.
I will remember your tiny little hands and sweet baby's breath long after the day is done....
Long after the years have passed.
You are my beautiful child...
And I will love you forever.

New England....Let the celebration begin (16-0)!!!!!!
Go Pats!!!!
Quick Take: Patriots perfect
NFL.com
It was over when ...
Laurence Maroney ran 5 yards for a touchdown to give the Patriots a 38-28 lead in the fourth quarter.

The Patriots celebrate their record-breaking touchdown.
Game ball
Tom Brady was nearly flawless, despite playing without the right side of his offense line -- guard Steve Neal and tackle Nick Kaczur. Brady completed 32 of 42 passes for 356 yards and 2 touchdowns. Randy Moss also garners a game ball, hauling in two touchdown receptions. Moss' presence near the goal line opened up the running game for Maroney who finished with a pair of touchdowns. Defensively, linebacker Junior Seau appeared to be all over the field for the Patriots, making key plays.
Key stat
The Patriots did not turn the ball over. Both teams protected the ball very well. Ellis Hobb's interception on Eli Manning's pass with 9:53 in the fourth quarter was the game's first turnover. That play also set up the Patriots winning touchdown drive.
Noteworthy
Tom Brady set a single-season record for touchdown passes and Randy Moss set one for touchdown receptions when the two teamed up on a 65-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Patriots also set the single-season record for points scored on Brady's 4-yard touchdown pass to Moss in the second quarter, breaking the Vikings previous record of 556.

Christmas Vacation ......Part 2
Family Fun Night....Bowling
Breanna's first time bowling and she did so great! She just needed a little help to get some speed down the lane and she knew exactly what to do!
Just proof of how she continues to amaze us every day. It was so cute how Breanna had to wait fot the ball that was coming off the conveyor and grab just that one. Trevor had a great time as well and was cheering Breanna on. He was so thrilled to, "come in second.."

Christmas Vacation.... Part 1
This year was a very Rare event this year for our family....10 days off, no school, no work...no therapy, no appointments. We enjoyed EVERY minute (well almost)! We got a great start on the workshop in the basement (thanks to Dad's help), picked out EVERYTHING for decorating the brand new camp, got to eat ALOT of wonderful food, undecorated our house with Mom's help(:( ), and the kids got some GREAT quality time with Gammie and Grandpa. Grandpa even let Trevor try out his BRAND new custom built trombone. Trevor was thrilled! I made each child their own ornament box where they can all keep their special pieces through the years to take with them when they leave home. Enjoy the Pics!
